The argument that Jordan Peterson and others made against calling people by their chosen names was primarily "free speech": you can't make me say name X rather than name Y.
So I'm really looking forward to hearing from these people as more and more teachers and healthcare providers are being legally forced to deadname people. That should be a really enlightening discussion.

Malignant narcissists can't stand when you make fun of them because they lack any real sense of humor or introspection. And they're totally fine with trampling on the First Amendment if it makes their critics quiet down and self-censor. From NYT:
"President Trump threatened on Thursday to revoke broadcasting licenses over late-night hosts who speak negatively about him, escalating an assault against the media. βTheyβre giving me all this bad press, and theyβre getting a license,β Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, after ABC suspended the late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live show. βI would think maybe their license should be taken away.β
Then you have his lapdog FCC chief Brendan Carr doing his best mafia tough guy imitation threatening ABC's broadcast licenses if they didn't cancel Jimmy Kimmel, which of course they did. In some ways that's appropriate, because this entire administration is operated a lot like a mafia organization -- shaking everyone down for money and extorting companies and universities over speech they don't like.

Where is the fucking law? Where is freedom of speech?
Why has the USA suddenly bowled over to the fascists?
Land of the Free is a fucking joke now

Just passed multiple Charlie Kirk memorials here in Albuquerque.
All along San Mateo Blvd and on Menaul Blvd.
Hailing him as a "hero". A "patriot". A "martyr".
RACIST and MISOGYNIST are more appropriate.
They're all in the city's poorest part of town.
Wanna bet the racist megachurches that beat up Black Lives Matter and Native protesters in 2020 are behind this shit?
The same ones who are backing racists in the mayoral election?
Fuck them.

Easy call to action: Congress passed the 340B program to let hospitals buy medications at deep discounts for low income patients.
Hospitals are instead charging full price, defeating the point & exploiting patients. Sign to demand Congress pass "340B ACCESS Act" to stop this abuse: bit.ly/3KaNUns
Congress: Protect Patients and Hold Hospitals Accountable for Exploiting 340B
The 340B program was meant to give vulnerable patients affordable access to medicine. Instead, hospitals are abusing it, buying...bit.ly

with stories like this, are you sure you still want your country to succeed? Is it now beyond redemption? Time to start a new one?
BREAKING: Senate confirms 48 of Trumpβs nominees at once after changing the chamberβs rules
This is exactly why I was screaming at Biden and Senate Dems to abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and pass the legislation that the American people wanted and deserved. But feckless leadership was so beholden to "norms" they refused.
We knew the GOP would do this. And now they've done it. And Schumer is still pointing at an irrelevant rule book of norms. smh

If you still have an account on academia.edu, you should probably delete it.
I'm not sure how their new terms are legal: they give the site the right to use your data *in any manner*. This is mainly to help them scrape academic work and republish/mangle parts of it through AI without credit: but these terms go way beyond that into your likeness, your voice, even your signature.
Please boost this to academics you know. Further PSA elements in thread:

Further PSA 1, how to do account deletion on Academia.edu without agreeing to the new terms of service on the way:
If you want to delete your account, open academia.edu, do NOT click accept to the new terms, but instead click "privacy policy". You can then go to the top left dropdown menu with your name on it, click "account settings", scroll to the bottom of the page, and there's the account deletion option. You can even leave them a little note if you want though I doubt they'll read it.
Two egregious things about Academia.edu:
1) their new TOS are "irrevocable" and "transferable", and explicitly include the use of your name, likeness, photo and voice "for any purpose."
They could literally make you the new spokesperson for neo-nazis, or chicken mcnuggets, under those terms.
2) someone here says that Academia.edu has already sent out emails purporting to be from them, urging folks to join academia.edu or whatever. One went to a leading figure in the person's field.

Here in Florida, when the governor went after Disney for free speech, Democrats, liberals, the left, and people across the country stood up for the corporation and loudly pushed back against fascism.
Yesterday, @disney sold all those people out and instead threw their Mickey Mouse hat in with the fascist government.
Disney is the Senator John Fetterman of companies. - Jim Wright
